I'm Back!

I know I have been slacking in the blog department lately. I really don't have that much to say. There's that whole thing going on with guru, but 2 other people have already mentioned that so I won't be a copycat.

I went out with Sweetiepie this weekend and had a wonderful time. We went to the Mall at Tuttle Crossing and ate at Ruby Tuesday and then walked around the mall a while. We looked in Victoria's secret in their clearance bins but all they had left were smalls and extra smalls. I'm telling you my 7 and (almost) 5 year old daughters have bigger undies than some of those things. I don't know how any adult woman could wear those. They would have to have absolutely NO shape to them whatsoever. To be honest, and this is just me here, I prefer a woman with some curves. I like to see hips that are wider than her waist. To me that signifies being a woman and not a little girl. A typical hourglass shape.

Anyway, sweetiepie and I ransacked her entire house looking for our freshman yearbook to reminisce. Unfortunately we had no luck. I also cannot find mine and we both really wanted to look at it. (We met our freshman year of high school, and she cannot remember the teacher of the class we met in...nor the class itself.) "Well why don't you just look in one of your other yearbooks for the teacher" you may ask. Well, in the school district we attended, Freshmen have their own building apart from the high school, so the other yearbooks would not have what we were looking for. However, I did talk to another friend of ours from high school this evening who says that our freshman yearbook is the only one she can actually find. So it sounds like we have an excuse to all get together now and look through it together. Well, now all we have to do is arrange a time where all three of us are available at the same time....

The Latest Fashion Trend...



Hey Sweetiepie, we should pick ourselves up some of these while we're out shopping Saturday!!
But seriously, I wonder how long it will be before we see our pastor's daughters sporting these on Sunday Mornings? If you know these girls, you'll know I'm not exactly kidding!

Curves and Avon

In case any of you ladies are interested, If you buy $10 worth of certain products from the current Avon campaign you get a free 2 week trial membership to Curves. I'm going to take advantage of it as I have been with my 2 week guest pass to Bally's. I also have a free 1 week trial to Ladies Workout Express. I think I am going to see how many free trials I can get from different places and then decide which one I like the best and join. I need to keep up with my workouts. I didn't get to go to Bally's today. I was headed out the door to go around 5 this afternoon and was reminded by my daughter that we had cheerleading practice tonight. Argh! We have to be at cheerleading at 6:15, so Bally's just wasn't an option for me tonight. (I couldn't go earlier because my sitter wasn't home). O well. There's always tomorrow, right?

Hmm...

I have nothing of substance to blog about today, but I figured I should blog something since I've been slacking lately. I've been feeling really depressed lately and it's very difficult for me to not just binge on every food in sight. Plus, my stomach still growls constantly. What's the deal with that? It's been 3 weeks for goodness sakes! Well, I'm gonna go watch 7th Heaven now, so later.

Disney On Ice


My younger daughter's 5th birthday is in a couple of weeks and she keeps changing her mind as to whether she wants to have a roller skating party or go to see Disney on ice with just mommy, daddy, and big sister. Of course we would still have the traditional family gathering for Sunday lunch for her birthday so she would still get presents. In fact, I'm leaning towards the Disney thing because, frankly, I'm tired of planning kiddy parties. They're such a pain because you never know for sure how many people will come. Most people wait until the last minute to r.s.v.p if they even decide to do so at all. Plus, without the kiddy party, there aren't so many new toys for me to have to step on and/or trip over. I don't want her to be sad later, though, about not having a party with her friends. But we can also go skating any time and Disney on ice is only in town for a few days. Oh decisions, decisions. Life is tough when you're turning 5!

On The Go!


That pretty much sums up my life these days. It seems I am hardly ever at my home! For example today: I got up way too friggin' early so that I could drop off my van to have the brakes worked on.

Then my hubby took me to my grandparents' house so I could borrow one of their cars . Then while I was there, I had to feed the baby his breakfast and then gather all the kids back up and cram them all into the back of my grandma's Corsica.

Then I went to my other grandparents' house so they could watch my kids while I went to go work out. (I have a free 2 week guest pass to Bally's!) So, I ate lunch at their house, then I pumped (for the baby) and then went to work out.

When I got back to their house, my grandma and I and the 3 kids went to Walmart to do some grocery shopping.

When we got back from there, I had to pump again (man that takes up a lot of my time!) and heard from my hubby that my van was done. I really didn't expect them to get it done today. I was pleasantly suprised!

Then it was over to my dads house, since I couldn't reach him on the phone, to go take my other grandparents' car back to them and head out to pick up my van from the shop.

Then finally I got to come on home. After putting up the groceries, cleaning up the kitchen, collecting up all the trash in the house and starting a load of laundry, I am getting a chance to blog.

Of course the downside of this is that the baby has been sleeping for quite a while now and I am hoping that he doesn't wake up when I'm trying to go to bed somewhere between midnight and one a.m. With my luck, he'll be wide awake!! At least the girls had a snow day today, that made things a bit easier for me in that I didn't have to make the 4 usual trips to the school.

Ah...isn't mommy life....wonderful?!!

Gonna win a Pontiac SV6

Yeah, baby! I want to win one so bad. You have no idea how bad I want a new car. I am so sick of our pieces of poop cars. I have to take my current minivan in to get brake work done tomorrow. So lucky me gets to borrow my grandparents' chevy corsica. Woo hoo! Every day in February, Regis and Kelly are giving away one of these vans and are even covering the taxes so it really won't cost a thing to win it. How cool would that be?!! I must win one. I simply MUST! Even better, I must win 2!

Virtual Lo



Well, it's a fairly accurate representation of me. Especially the face. Guru thought at first glance that I somehow added a pic of myelf to make it seem more realistic.

Is it Bjork or Kevin?



I just don't know. In keeping with drifter's post(via guru) I found a nice pic of K.J. for ya. Here you go. We need to find a nice swan for ghraper to wear and post another side-by-side. Well, that's my blog du jour. Loelsh out.

Why...

...am I still always hungry? I thought that after a few days of eating less that one should stop feeling so hungry all the time. This has been true for me in the past, but for some reason this time around, my stomach just constantly growls. It's soooo annoying and it's making it really difficult for me to keep up with this "change of lifestyle".

...have I only lost 1 more lb so far this week? I mean, I am still breastfeeding, and I know that you shouldn't lose weight too quickly because you can release toxins into your breastmilk, but this is a bit TOO slow!

...is my little man so cute? I mean, really! He's the cutest boy in the world!

...did I sign up to coach upward cheerleading? I got stuck with the in-between age girls. The younger ones pay attention because they still have a fear for adults other than their parents, and the older ones are old enough to know better. But my girls are just at that age where they just do their own thing and don't pay attention. It's really annoying! And they aren't my kids where I can threaten them (well 1 of the girls is mine, but the other 7 aren't).

Just Call Me Oscar!


I have been super grouchy lately and I think I've figured out the problem. Ever since guru started back to school and I've had to start getting up earlier in the mornings, I have been very crabby! I don't think that it is the amount of sleep I get, so much as the time I get up that determines my grouch level. If I were to fall asleep at 11pm and get up at 7am, I would be more grouchy than if I fell asleep at 1am and woke up at 9am. See what I mean? 8 hours of sleep in both scenerios, but in the latter one, I would be less grouchy. I don't know why that is, but I have found this to be true for me. So I guess until Summertime, when I can sleep in a bit longer, everyone can just expect me to be a beyotch! Good luck, everyone, you'll need it!

Great Deal!

I went to a couple of different stores today looking at their mis-mixed paints. I finally found a gallon of $19 Dutch Boy purple paint, for my daughters' room at their papaw's house, at Meijer. Wanna know how much I paid for it? That's right just $1.00. That's what I'm talkin' about! I need to keep my eyes open and try to get into Lowes and Home Depot right after the weekend and try to get some more good deals on the paint. So, sometime within the next week or two I will be gettin' my paint on!

Ooooo, Ooooo

That's right! A new season of American Idol starts one week from today! I am so excited. I just love that show. Sometimes I get upset with America, however, when they don't vote correctly. For example when Rueben won over Clay! I mean come on! Is America on crack? Clay was and IS clearly the better of the 2! Bring it on Simon Cowell, you rock!

A Fun Game For Ya!

20 questions, baby! Try it out, it's fun. Let me know what you think. I know, guru, you've been there done that! Nothing new to you on the internet!

Billy Blanks


O.k., so I started doing my tae bo workouts again. Not everyday, unfortunately, but trying for at least 3 times a week. What bugs me about these videos is that Billy doesn't exercise both sides evenly. You'll do one side then do the other, but he just makes you keep going on side 2 for a long time. It makes me feel uneven. So I modify it to get an even workout on both sides. Does anyone else doing these workouts do the same thing? Or am I the only one bothered by this?

A post...Drifter style...

Had our first Upward b-ball game to cheer at this morning. All my girls seemed to still be asleep even though it was 10:30. I kept trying to get them to smile and look "cheerful" but they mostly seemed unamused by my antics....good thing they didn't have to try out...I'd only have 1 or 2 girls on my squad!

Baby man cut his 4th tooth today...They are all on the bottom...none on top. He doesn't want to go to sleep tonight...so I'm holding him while I type and he is being very wiggly and whiney.

Bought a small exercise tramp...oline today at Wally World for $20. It was a beyotch to put together...but hubby and I finally got it figured out. The girls think it's THEIR new toy, as they do my exercise ball I got when I was preggo with the boy to use as a birthing ball. Now to just get myself to use those things on a daily basis.

Ran out of my Zoloft I've been taking and didn't get it refilled cause they didn't seem to be helping...I still feel depressed a lot and am kinda moody (maybe I'm not getting enough sleep? No, never enough sleep!) but over the last few days since I haven't taken them, I've noticed I've become even more moody and angry.

My younger daughter just said (and she's said this before too) that sometimes she dreams about mamaw coming back and she's in a wheelchair...I'm glad she remembers her mamaw and hope she always will....It's coming up on the one year anniversary of her death on the 23rd of this month...I can't believe it's been a year!

Gotta start planning my younger daughter's 5th birthday party...Less than a month away...she wants a skating party like her big sister had on her last birthday...think we'll do that since it makes the planning easier on me...then not too much longer til I need to plan my baby's first birthday party! Where is the time going?

Well that's all for now...dudes and dudettes! Just some of my random thots...didn't think there were so many but I started typing and they just kept cumming to me.

My Flavor

I am a staple in almost everyone's diet. Friends like me are a complement to any other friends I get on with almost everyone, remaining mostly in the background, but providing substance when it would otherwise be lacking. What Flavour Are You?

Or if not that, I would be...

What Flavour Are You? Cor blimey, I taste like Tea.Cor blimey, I taste like Tea.


I am a subtle flavour, quiet and polite, gentle, almost ambient. My presence in crowds will often go unnoticed. Best not to spill me on your clothes though, I can leave a nasty stain. What Flavour Are You?

Grrrrroooowl!

That's the sound my stomach keeps making. I keep eating little, healthy snacks today, but for some reason, my stomach just won't stop growling! Every time it growls, I think of some food that I want really bad. Like tortilla chips and salsa and ranch dressing, or Olive Garden's soup salad and breadsticks, or mushroom and cheese pizza and crazy bread! Ooooooooh, I'm so hungry. This really needs to stop, or I'm never gonna make it!!

Brain Fart!

I can't think of anything to blog about, but I didn't want to break my record of blogging every day so far this year. So this is my blog for the day. Maybe tomorrow I will have something worth reading. Then again, do I ever?

Measure Up!


Are all of our weight loss challengers measuring themselves to gage how many total inches they lose? I couldn't find my measuring tape a couple of days ago, so I finally found it and took measurements tonight. I measured my upper arms, bust, waist, hips, thighs and my legs right above my knees. ( I'm not going to go all out and measure my wrists and ankles and whatnot, they're not my problem areas!) Now, I'm not going to list all of my measurements just now. Maybe after the numbers go down a tad, but what I will say, is that I can remember a time when I measured my waist and it was the same number that I just got for my thighs! How sick is that? If that doesn't make ya want to just puke, I don't know what will.

Back to Cheerleading

Well, after a 3 week break from coaching my upward cheerleading squad, I'm back at it again tonight. I am really wishing I had not signed up to do this. But I did and I intend to carry through with my commitment. When I agreed to do this, my hubby had not yet decided to go back to school. So he was going to be home to keep our 2 younger children while our oldest and I went to cheerleading. Well, now that he's in school, he has classes on Tuesday evenings so I now have to drive twice as far as my church (to drop off the 2 younger ones to be babysat) and then back to the church for cheerleading and then back out to get the kids and then back home. That's a lot of driving (about 38 miles all together) and a lot of gasoline. O well, I suppose it's not the end of the world. It's only for a couple of months and then by the time this quarter is over for guru, cheerleading will be over for me.
Go Upward!

Why do I bother?!

Trying to do my own nails that is. I stopped in at Sally's beauty supply store and bought some stuff to balance my own nails. I did the same thing that I was taught how to do last Wednesday when I got my nails done last. They were beginning to look a bit ugly so I thought I'd just fix them myself. Well I totally botched them. I thought they looked like @$$ before....They definately do now! Argh! Why do I do this to myself. I always screw up my nails. Even when I just paint them, I always do. Why is it so hard for me to do my own nails?

Early Day for Lo Tomorrow


Tomorrow is the day that my hubby starts at the Ohio State University. He will be going to classes in the evenings which means he will have to get in to work early now on a daily basis. As it was until now this school year, he was getting up and taking our oldest daughter to school every day on his way to work and our younger daughter to preschool on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. This meant he would get into work anywhere between 9 and 9:30 in the morning. Well this means I will have to start getting my butt up every morning to take them myself so that he can get to work earlier because he is going to have to leave on M-W-F before 4pm. Some of you may not understand that I NEED my sleep. My hubby seems to believe that I just WANT to sleep, that I should just get up and I'd wake up. Wrongo! I just happen to be a person whose body requires more sleep than some. Now, I don't just lay there and sleep all day, though, that would be nice to do sometime. I usually get to bed somewhere between midnight and 1am on a daily basis. Then the baby wakes up between 6 and 7 hungry. Well, hubby usually hands him to me for me to latch him on to the "boo" and then I go back to sleep with the baby and am up for the day by 8:30-9am. I like my mornings this way. I get up and feed the baby his cereal while I watch Regis and Kelly. Now I have to have my booty up and going in time to get my oldest to school by 8:30 (and her school is 15 miles away). I'll tell you this, I'm gonna be one tired, cranky mofo.

2005 Is Here!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope that this year is a good one. I'm going to TRY to keep my thinking positive this year. I know that things aren't always gonna go the way I want. I know there are going to be things in 2005 that make me sad. But I'm going to try to keep my outlook on things positive. I have a real problem with thinking negatively. I need to be careful not to let one negative thing taint my outlook on everything else. Prevent the downward spiral that occurs in my mind when something goes wrong and then I end up getting majorly depressed. So that is my new year's resolution along with losing weight. My ultimate goal would be to lose about 90 lbs. But I honestly don't see that happening. See there I go again with the negative thinking. How do I change this? I need to stop it! I hate that about myself.

Need Ideas

Ok, so I think I've figured out part of my problem as to why I don't blog enough. (Besides the fact that I can't think of topics to blog about). I always get on the computer and the first thing I do is catch up on my babycenter and blogs. By the time I'm done with that, one of my kids (usually the baby) is needing my attention and I don't have time then to blog. Maybe I should start with blogging and then catch up on other stuff. But then, there's still the problem of coming up with blog topics. Any blog ideas for me? I'd love to hear them. And maybe I can keep my blog updated more.
